Nobody has any clue when this will end”. While some students are not as concerned, another student affected by this shortage,Jessica Winkman, gave The Medium her thoughts. “I’m really not too
worried about it” she stated, “I’ve been with my chemistry professor outside of class, and we have been working together in his lab to create a solution for students affected by this crisis.” Walford Wright, a professor of chemistry at Rutgers University, responded to our mass email to
the chemistry department. Wright helped to explain why this shortage is so severe. “In short, one of the major manufacturers of Adderall, Teva Pharmaceuticals, had started experiencing these supply issues back in October 2022,” Professor Wright explains, “Between Teva’s Continued on Page 2
